Tbf, i always comment my code to do a sanity check of what i am doing along the way( think rubber duck method with comments). The problem is that my writing is so cryptic i am the only one that could ever understand it.
I have to comment my code because otherwise I have no idea wth I was writing 6mo ago.
Like, I recently had to update a script I wrote 2 years ago and had thought 'this is self explanatory, I don't need to comment it's only to have me come back and have to walk the code to figure out I forgot to include an edge case that hadn't occurred yet ..
6 months - you're good. 3 for me. 😄
